Newcomers are welcome to join the 26 group: you needn't be a super programmer, but you should be 27 prepared to listen and learn, as well as to contribute patches if 28 you can. Since everyone is a volunteer, you will usually be 29 expected to try to implement any suggestions you make.</p> 30 31 <h1><em>Lynx-Dev Discussion List</em></h1> 32 33 <p>The developers communicate through a mailing list — see 34 below for details — which is open to interested users as 35 well as programmers. Topics include fixing bugs, increasing 36 Lynx' tools and powers, meeting the ever-changing demands of the 37 Internet and porting Lynx to new systems.</p> 38 39 <p>Anyone may read what has been said on the list by visiting 40 <a href= 41 "http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev/"> the 42 Archive</a>.</p> 43 44 <h1><em>Development Versions of Lynx</em></h1> 45 46 <p>Besides <em>releases</em>, which are stable versions of Lynx 47 which come out once or twice a year and can be obtained from 48 <a href="http://lynx.isc.org/release/">the release site</a>, 49 there are <em>development</em> versions, which are experimental 50 — though usually stable enough to use — and appear 51 every few weeks, depending on current activity.</p> 52 53 <p>You can find the latest <em>development</em> version of Lynx 54 by visiting <a href="http://lynx.isc.org/current/">the 55 development site</a>.</p> 56 57 <h1><em>Subscribing to Lynx-Dev</em></h1> 58 59 <p>If you are interested in joining the Lynx mailing list, send 60 e-mail to <a href= 61 "mailto:lynx-dev-request@nongnu.org?subject=subscribe"> lynx-dev-request@nongnu.org</a> 62 with "subscribe" as the subject line.</p> 63 64 <p>You will need to answer one follow-up question to confirm you 65 want to subscribe.
